Since he took over as director of the Residential Coaching Academy of Centre for Coaching & Career Planning the result has been positive. This year, twenty students coached there qualified the Prelims of the Civil Services Main Examination (2012) conducted on May 20.

And once again the centre is inviting application for aspirants, providing scholarship to 20 per cent admitted students @ 2000/.

Md Shuja, who studied at the centre way back in 2000 and now a government employee in the NCR region, is happy with the turn of events. He said: “It is good to know that things have improved. Now more students are making it to Civil Services.”

The centre is fully air conditioned and aspirants are provided lodging facilities too. Under the guidance of Dr Rahman, aspirants get regular feedback so that they can keep on improving.

With a former IAS officer Najeeb Jung as vice chancellor of JMI a lot has changed. It has been reported that Jung takes personal interest in the centre and also guides students for mock interviews.
